To the Parents of children in Mrs. Cody's class,
Each year, I am surprised by how quickly these 40 weeks of school go by, and this year is no exception!
All of the children in our class learned so much and grew and matured throughout the course of the year. I am so proud of all of their accomplishments and hard work.
Thank-you for letting me spend each day with your child!
To the Students in Mrs. Cody's class:
I am so proud of each and every one of you. The biggest and best lesson I have tried to teach you in Third Grade is to never give up and persist when things are challenging. This is the best way to learn and grow. One of my favorite quotes is: "If you aren't confused, you aren't learning!" Never give up on yourself. You can accomplish anything you set your mind to and try your best at.
It is crucial that you keep your mind working in the summer!!! Your brain is a muscle and it will get weaker- just like your arm muscles- if you aren't using it.
There are so many ways you can do this! You can:
-Complete your summer reading packet and math calendar- both came home from school on Thursday. You will get a special penguin point gift card from your 4th grade teacher if you do.
-Join the White Oak Library summer reading program!!! They always have lots of cool prizes- and tons of great book recommendations for your reading level.
-Play lots of online math games, from right here on my blog! You may also be able to continue using splash math.
-Try keeping a summer writing journal, or try to do all of the prompts in the June calendar across the summer. You have tons of space left in your school journals to use up!
-Complete your math homework workbook to keep your math skills sharp!
-If you didn't master all of your multiplication facts, practice, practice, practice! If you did, keep playing games so your don't forget any of those though facts!
And, of course, don't forget to have fun!!! Enjoy time with your friends and family and spend lots of time playing outside and being active!
I'm going to miss each and every one of you! Enjoy a wonderful and safe summer!
Remember:
"Smart is not something you are, Smart is something you GET!"
Love,
Mrs. Cody
